It is illegal to listen to other peoples' voice mail. Also, anyone who doesn't password-protect their voice mail box is using poor judgment.

Yes, unless he has the other person's permission.

It is a form of wiretapping, Penal Code section 631, and perhaps eavesdropping or recording, Penal Code section 632.
